THE FIRST 200 CERAMIC-ON-CERAMIC HIP RESURFACING IMPLANTS AT MINIMUM TWO-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Le résumé fourni par la source

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a bone conserving alternative to total hip arthroplasty. We present the early 2-year clinical and radiographic follow-up of a novel ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) HRA in an international multi-centric cohort. Patients undergoing HRA between September 2018 and January 2021 were prospectively included. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) in the form of the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), HOOS Jr, WOMAC, Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and UCLA Activity Score were collected preoperatively and at 1- and 2-years post-operation. Serial radiographs were assessed for migration, component alignment, evidence of osteolysis/loosening and heterotopic ossification formation. 200 patients were identified to have reached 2-year follow-up. Of these, 185 completed PROMS follow-up at 2 years. There was significant improvement in HOOS (p< 0.001) and OHS (p< 0.001) and FJS (p< 0.001) between the pre-operative and 2-year outcomes. Patients reported improved pain (p<0.001), function (p<0.001) and reduced stiffness (p<0.001) as measured by the WOMAC score. Patients had improved activity scores on the UCLA Active Score (P<0.001) with 53% reporting return to impact activity at 2 years. There was no osteolysis and the mean acetabular cup inclination angle was 41deg and the femoral component shaft angle was 137deg. No fractures were reported over but there was one sciatic nerve palsy with partial recovery. Two patients were revised; one at 3 months for pain due to a misdiagnosed back problem and another at 33 months for loosening of the acetabular component with delamination of the titanium ingrowth surface. CoC resurfacing at 2-years post-operation demonstrate promising results with satisfactory PROMS.
